After Damien heard the unfamiliar cold voice sound from the cube, his heart went icy cold as he heard more of their conversation, and his body began to tremble.
"If anything, try bringing these vice leaders, especially this lover. They might have some use. Tell them about me, but if they want to bring more people, abandon them..."
At this point, Damien suddenly sputtered blood since this confirmed all the words his master had just told him!
The beggar waved his sleeve, and the projection vanished, and he impassively said, "Now, tell me, do you still think the Sky Staler is noble? Do you still want to save everyone who admires him?"
Although Damien didn't know how his master managed to get that, he wasn't an idiot, and he knew this was all real. The person on the other side of the communication cube was really the Sky Stealer, who had vanished from public view for years.
"W-why did he do it? If he wanted to know about me, couldn't he just confront me?" Damien palely questioned. But his question was towards himself, not the beggar.
With how much he and the Thieving World Society admired the Sky Stealer, if he showed himself, they wouldn't hesitate to reveal everything; they were even willing to work under him and let him lead.
"Are you worthy?" The beggar said indifferently, "As I stated before, everyone is his victim or his tool. Since you are not qualified to be his tool, you will naturally be his victim."
Although his words were merciless, Damien didn't refute them since the proof was right in front of him.
He looked at his master with a complicated look in his listless eyes, "If you knew Demonic Hands was a mole of Sky Stealer, why didn't you take action? Furthermore, from your tone, it's quite clear you know far more about Sky Stealer than anyone else; you even managed to find his subordinate, yet instead of acting, you're showing it to me.
"Moreover, since you also knew that his action would cause this calamity, why didn't you stop him? In my eyes, you are even more guilty than him, or you just want to defame him so I can stand on your side. Who knows if Sky Stealer's interest in me is all because of you?
"You never told me who you were and what your purpose was. I'm still grateful to you for picking me up in the slums and granting me all this power to make the world a better place. But with your prowess, I'm now sure it wasn't a coincidence that you saved me that day and let me approach you.
The truth was far more profound than he could understand, and it was all related to the Sky Stealer. Just what was he supposed to do?
If he agreed, he would be Sky Stealer's enemy, and there was no going back after it, but if he refused, then he wasn't sure if he could survive that incoming darkness.
Damien took a deep breath and asked, without replying to the question first, "If I agree, will this calamity end?"
"No, you don't have power to go against this existence, in fact, even I can't stop it with this body. If you agree, I'll be taking you with me to another place where you'll receive your inheritance that will help you hunt down the Sky Stealer.
"You might not be able to save this place, but you will be able to stop another tragedy like this from happening." The beggar impassively replied without having any intention of sugarcoating his words.
Damien's expression was filled with rage and helplessness as felt extremely powerless, he never thought he would feel like this after reaching his current power. Yet, the reality struck him hard.
"Let me talk with Emmie, and I'll give you my answer." He decided to change his condition.
Emmie was the name of the woman who founded the Sky Stealer Society and also the woman he loved. He was still unwilling to give up on her.
"You still want to take that woman with you? She will be your burden and a hindrance to your path. Furthermore, she might even betray you for Sky Stealer. But since you are still unwilling, I'll satisfy your demand.
"I'll bring her here, but you can't reveal what I just told you, or she'll die. If she really agrees with you and truly wants to be together with you, I can make an exception and let her be your sword. But if she disagrees, it will be the end of your density with her, and I'll wipe away all of her memories regarding you!" The beggar coldly stated, and without waiting for Damien to reply, he vanished!
Damien's heart trembled as he clearly wasn't expecting such a twist.
But even before he could calm down, the beggar appeared again, and this time, another person was with him!
